and this was when...?

@Europemanx True, it is a matter of preference regarding sticks. Even Al MacInnis who had one of the hardest slapshots in the league was breaking the 100MPH mark with a wooden stick. Overall, most players use the composite sticks for a reason, they get more flexibility resulting in a higher velocity.

[Europemanx]

@rckn4ever Well for example Selanne is playing with a wooden stick and he shoots better with it than with a regular stick. So that's not always the case.

@JDJAKS

"no one is doing anything close to what hes doing in the new nhl"

lol is that why he just lost the points race two years in a row?

idiots.

haha i love how happy ovi is to hear wat gretzky thinks of him

[rckn4ever]

@rg75m You are all true about the difference in size of the goalie pads and equipment. It is a contributing factor, however you must also realize that the sticks have changed over the last 15-20 years and the velocity has increased tremndously. A NHL players shot with a wooden sticks might clock around 70 - 80 MPH. With these composite sticks the same player is honing in on 90 - 100 mph + shots. Look at what has happened in golf and club technology / yardage.

@itsanewcar123 if you mean sawchuk, he was around a good little bit b4 wayne. most of the 60's and a little b4. and on that note, i think marty has to get 1/4 more shutouts to match up w/ him.
